I had an idea a while ago for a drum machine application for my PDA, which I never got around to doing anything about, of course...
While there isn't any ability to sense force, there are X and Y axes... I thought one axis could be assigned to tone (or could switch or fade between samples), and one could be assigned to volume so that the further away from yourself you tapped, the louder the output. Finger slides and that sort of thing could be tracked too, and have some effect. I think a totally decent drum interface could be developed without being able to sense force. If something like this could be made to work even half decently, it would be a great application to have sitting on your phone... I'm a drummer, and it'd be cool to be able to just plug my phone into a PA and jam with a band (even if only as a novelty), not to mention that it'd be a fun way to pass the time when you're stuck on a bus or whatever.

I do not believe that can be done with the resistive screen on the V1 system. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
